Hi!
I'm new here, I've been lurking for a couple of weeks though learning from you clever people
My partner and I are looking for a diamond for an engagement ring. Ideally I want half a carat and (of course like most others here!) want to get the best deal possible.
I think I have found a suitable diamond. It is 0.43carats but its measurements are 4.98-5.05x2.97mm which I believe is closer to the dimensions of a half carat stone? It is GIA certified, here are the other bits of information. It is a Round Brilliant stone.
Colour: J
Clarity: SI1
Cut: Very Good
Depth: 59.2%
Table: 57%
Symmetry: Very good
Polish:Very good
Girdle:T-M
Fluorescence: Faint (am I correct in thinking this will make it look whiter?)
Culet: none
Does this sound like a decent diamond? I'm not worried about having an absolute ice-white snowflake on my finger, but would like it to appear more white than yellow. It will be purchased online, in my area a similar stone would be twice the price!
I'd really value your opinions
Thankyou!!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that it would be in a yellow gold ring with 4 white gold prongs
